Abstract

The problem of hydrogen diffusion in a metal with pores is formulated. Pores are sources of absorption (traps) of hydrogen. Traps were considered to be point-like, distributed uni­formly over the entire volume of the metal. Solutions to the problem of diffusion in a defective body have been obtained. In particular, expressions for determining the concen­tration of both diffusion-moving and trapped hydrogen are obtained for the plate. We also obtained a ratio for determining the amount of hydrogen sorbed by a defective plate at an arbitrary moment of time during its hydrogenation. The amount of hydrogen sorbed by a defect-free plate and a plate with uniformly distributed traps was compared. A 2-3 time excess of hydrogen content in the defective plate compared to the defect-free plate was established.
